SOIL
COMPACTION WITH IMPACTOR 2000
The
IMPACTOR 2000 is ideal
for projects with high density specs.
-
Liners
- Dams
- AA subgrade compaction |
|
At
7 mph, as much as 100,000 yd³ of fill may be compacted
in a 10-hour day.

The
patented and convertible V-Grader may be used to smooth or scarify the
surface. The smoothing process provides an ideal drainage plane for
erosion
control while scarification ensures superior bonding of additional lifts.

Testimonials:
"The
Impactor worked very well in obtaining an amazing 104% density on the
sandy material with very little compacting efforts. In addition to the
sand, it also obtained a 98% density on the clay material in three passes
using 1 to 2-foot lifts."

"One phase of the project in which we were involved required a
three-foot clay liner over a four-acre site compacted to 93% minimum
compaction with very tight moisture tolerances. Prior to using the Impactor
2000 we had tried several compactors including Caterpillar’s 815,
825, and 84" vibratory pad drum, brothers 20-ton rubber tired roller,
and a Hyster 740 double-drum sheepsfoot compactor. We were unable to
achieve passing tests with any consistency with any of these compactors,
and our cost was considerably over budget."
"I am pleased to report that, using the Impactor 2000, we were
able to get compaction and permeability tests to pass regularly. We
parked all the other compaction tools and were able to complete the
project ON TIME."

"We
have now finished our second job using the Impactor 2000, which we have
affectionately named the "Thumper". On both of these jobs,
the Impactor has proven itself as an effective compaction tool. I have
to admit that when I first heard about being able to deposit a three-foot
lift and then compact, I was skeptical to say the least. Once we convinced
the geotechnical engineers that compaction could be done in lifts up
to three feet, the Impactor 2000 achieved specific compaction or greater."
